Since last weekend, when I posted about my new quilt fabric, I've cut all the pieces and finished sewing a quarter of it:
My original plan was to sew all the strips and then figure out the best way to arrange them (so there are very few pieces of the same pattern touching), but once I'd finished five strips, I really wanted to see how they'd look together. So, that's 100 squares down, 300 to go! It will be about 6.5'x6.5' when it's finished, which should be just right for bundling up during the winter.
I spent a couple hours last weekend scrubbing the kitchen. The counters are so difficult to keep clean on a day-to-day basis, but a little scrubbing with some steel wool goes a long way when I want them shiny.
Noel had been confused by the pictures of my old kitchen in La Crosse (in the cooking section), so I thought I'd post a picture of our clean, metal kitchen. Nicer than the old one.
But now! The getting ready to go out! To fetch my new printing press!
Happy printing press fetching!
